My doctor's appt went well. It turns out I was confused with the medication and prescriptions that I got back in July. I was not supposed to ween myself off of one medication and then start another. I was to take them at the same time while weening off one. Confusing. I got the dr to write down all the info because the last appt was overwhelming and confusing.
So I am supposed to be on propranolol and citalopram, while weening off of amitriptyline which I have been taking for so many years for migraines. I am hoping it works. Propranolol is also good for anticipatory anxiety, so hopefully things will go well for that too.
I was so nervous to go to the dr appt. I struggle with authority. My last dr was horrible. I am always afraid of getting yelled at, fired, judged etc.
I am also totally afraid of being institutionalized. Terrified. My Grandmother was put into a psychiatric ward and so was my sister. I am terrified of being put into a ward and having my daughter taken away from me. I know this is worst case thinking. My husband wouldn't let anything like that happen to me but that thought keeps popping up.
So all in all, the dr appt was ok. I am starting new medication starting thursday night. I hope it works out.
Thanks for "listening"
